However some people weren’t quite sure why Kendall was at the Globes — a night that honors film and TV accomplishments. While the majority just seemed to be confused, others quipped that it must have been Kendall's "acting" in her controversial Pepsi commercial that landed her an invite.

According to her Instagram, Kendall was a guest of Vogue, which chronicled her experience on its website. But in addition to being a supermodel, Kendall is also part of a wildly successful reality TV franchise, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which just celebrated its 10-year anniversary this season. There may be no reality TV category at the Golden Globes, but no matter your opinion on the show's offerings, it's unfair to criticize her for attending an event she was invited to. It also points toward a continuing trend of dismissing reality television as something unimportant, despite its influence on the greater cultural landscape.

Like it or not, Kendall and her family are a powerful part of the industry as we know it, so it’s dismissive to say she was there simply because her mom is good at her job. While all the sisters haven’t walked the carpet, Kendall and Kylie have been at Golden Globes parties in the past and likely will continue to go.

So while Kendall may not have been nominated for her acting, she definitely deserved to be present at the show — and to stand with her fellow celebs against sexual misconduct and gender inequality while doing it.
